    a (human) friend texted me this link with the question “is this real?” and maybe I’ve been in the mountains for too long but it can’t possibly be real, right? Like as a critique or a satire it’s both incisive and clever, but as an earnest attempt at a product it’s just… deeply unhinged?

    “When will I receive my friend?”
    “Pre-orders will start shipping Q1 2025.”

      wow okay apparently it’s real, and they raised $2.5 million dollars, AND they spent $1.8 million of those dollars buying the domain name friend-dot-com, which is downright hilarious. I just spent $1.99 on the subway ride home buying the domain “enemy.lol”; anyone with web design chops wanna get in on this? I think “enemy” is a AI pendant that texts you to poke at your deepest insecurities. (with a premium plan it'll send your friends recordings of you talking about them behind their backs)

      “Your order includes a white friend device and a white case.” I mean, the jokes write themselves. https://www.friend.com/product.html

      @joeycastillo @GreenSkyOverMe it's even more deranged than that they spent most of VC money on the domain https://www.404media.co/ai-friend-company-spent-1-8-million-and-most-its-funds-on-domain-name/

      @xgebi @joeycastillo @GreenSkyOverMe Reminds me of the dotcom that raised a similar amount and spent most of it on a party.
      Only at least they got a party.
